Now that the reporters had left and the matter had been exposed, David had lost all his face as a judge.
He could not be bothered to maintain his composure anymore.
However, David realized that the people from First Light Media did not have much of a reaction to his words.
Only his manager frowned.
Ying Zijin nodded slightly. "Are you talking about the Luolang family?"
"Mr. David, you really know how to slander others." The female secretary sneered. "You're the one who made the improper deal. You're also the one who embarrassed the Luolang family. Who will they not let go of?"
David laughed when he heard this. "Don't you Hua people have an idiom that goes like this?
"This is Continent O. Who's close and who's distant? Who's noble and who's lowly? Do you understand?"
Everyone had double standards and was biased towards their own people.
How could the Luolang family be biased towards Hua people?
These Chinese people did not even understand this.
No wonder they were so stupid.
David grabbed his phone coldly. "I'll call the Luolang family now. Just you wait!"
Ying Zijin was still indifferent. "Go ahead."
David was so angry that his heart hurt.
He did not want to stay a second longer. He walked out angrily. "Hello …"
The manager trembled as he patted Shang Yaozhi's shoulder. "Yaozhi, could it be that Miss Ying and the Luolang family really …"
Shang Yaozhi thought for a moment. "Do you remember that I bought a car of jade from the Zhong Group?"
The manager nodded.
Ying Zijin had saved Shang Yaozhi's life. A car of jade was nothing.
Shang Yaozhi smiled. "At that time, I talked to Miss Ying's grandfather. The old man proudly told me that Miss Ying had already infiltrated the Luolang family."
This was Old Mr. Zhong's boasting at that time, but now it seemed that he had hit the mark.
The manager heaved a sigh of relief.
Actually, it didn't matter whether they won the award or not. They couldn't cause trouble for Ying Zijin.
Even among the nobles in Continent O, not many could come into contact with the Laurent family.
The Laurent family represented the pinnacle of power in Continent O.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Claire thought of the car he saw at the film festival that day.
When Dinah asked him if he was sure, he didn't take it to heart.
But now that he thought about it. It really did look like the symbol of the Laurent family!
No, but if Ying Zijin really knew someone from the Luolang family, how could they not find out?
There were no more than five Young Masters and Young Mistresses of the Laurent family who had absolute authority and status in Continent O, and none of them had anything to do with Hua.
Plus, if Ying Zijin had such connections, would she still be a boss in the entertainment industry in Hua City?
It was a thankless task, far less relaxing than being a senior executive at Universal Studios.
Clare didn't want to believe it. She couldn't figure it out.
But regardless of whether Ying Zijin was related to the Laurent family or not, Times Media had suffered a huge blow this time.
When a company lost its credibility, especially on such an international occasion. It was indeed the beginning of its destruction.
Clare had just walked out of the banquet hall when her phone started ringing crazily.
"Boss, something's wrong. Our share price has fallen by three points."
Before Clare could speak, the secretary's voice became even more anxious. "There are also a few A-list actors who want to terminate their contracts with us because they're afraid of their reputation being damaged!"
There were very few A-list actors internationally.
Clare's vision turned black.
It was over. It was over.
**
Sure enough, it didn't take long.
That night.
The exposure of the fraud at the IFF Academy Awards made the headlines in various countries.
The netizens in China were furious.
[Do you think Hua Hua is easy to bully? I really want to tear the face of this chief judge apart. What do you mean by it's enough that Hua Hua won the Best Screenplay Award? Why should they be grateful to you?]
[Does no one care about who put in the surveillance footage and call recordings?]
[A pack of spicy sticks. Yingshen.]
[Let's be honest. Although it feels great, we're overseas and not in our own territory. Chu Guang Media doesn't have any influence either. In the future, there won't be many people who will work with Chu Guang Media. Everyone has to be wary of their calls being exposed.]
This was indeed the truth.
Because this situation had happened before.
An international movie queen found out that her husband had cheated on her. In a fit of anger, she exposed the recording of her conversation with him and a third party.
Her husband's reputation was gone, but he was from a noble family in Continent O. With his family's influence, he directly banned this international movie queen.
No one dared to say anything.
If First Light Media was suppressed by the Laurent family and Family Pazzi together, even Venus Group wouldn't be able to protect them.
China was worried about this. After Ying Zijin had a real human-shaped pillow at night, she slept well.
The next morning, Fu Yunshen went to the Venus headquarters.
At noon, First Light Media had a lunch gathering at Fei Lengcui.
"I'll stay here for a few more days. You guys go back first." Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair. "There's a private plane to ensure your safety."
She had fought with Family Pazzi many times, so she knew their style too well.
They were unscrupulous.
The female secretary nodded and suddenly said, "Boss, the Laurent family is making a move."
Ying Zijin looked up. "Huh?"
She didn't tell Caesar about this at all.
Because there was no need.
The female secretary was about to speak when the door of the private room was knocked open.
David and a group of mercenaries came in.
David sneered. "It's them. Take them to Laurent Castle!"
Everyone at the dining table couldn't help but change their expressions.
David looked at their expressions and said happily, "I told you that the Laurent family won't let you go."
"No..." The female secretary looked at him strangely. "Haven't you seen the news yet?"
David was stunned. "What news?"
The female secretary snorted. "See for yourself!"
Just now, a new piece of news appeared on the Internet.
Weibo was synchronized, and the trending topic quickly rose to the top.
# Laurent family, IFF #
Below was the translated Weibo post.
[The Laurent family announced the reorganization of the IFF Film Festival and the Academy Awards. They removed this year's chief judge and prohibited this from happening again.
As the most authoritative film awards in the world, IFF welcomes supervision and reports from all parties.
In response to this bad situation, the Laurent family announced that they will invest one billion US dollars in First Light Media and apologize to First Light Media.]
[The Laurent family is awesome!]
[The structure of the number one family is indeed different.]
[Yingshen, you're rich. Are you happy?]
Ying Zijin finished reading: "..."
Throwing money at a disagreement. What a problem.
However, half of her gold was in Caesar's vault.
No matter how she thought about it, it was still her money.
Now she finally understood what it was like to be a rich woman.
David felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He took a few steps back. "This is impossible!"
It was one thing to remove him, but why would they invest in First Light Media?
Was the Laurent family crazy?
To be able to use such a large sum of money, the elders had to vote.
Even the family head didn't have this right!
What was going on?
David broke out in cold sweat. This time, he was completely flustered.
He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. However, with a bang, the door was kicked open and a group of people came in.
The guards of the Laurent family.
Compared to the mercenaries that David had hired, they were many levels higher.
The captain of the guards looked at David indifferently and pointed with his finger. "It's him. Take him away!"
**
David was brought directly to the Laurent castle by the guards and sent to an interrogation room.
Such a big move naturally alarmed the other members of the Laurent family and the elders.
When they found out that they had made such a big fuss over an Academy Award, they were a little confused.
Even the Third Elder didn't know how this matter had alarmed the person with the highest authority.
However, as subordinates, they couldn't ask about this kind of thing.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. The person in power was about to come out, so he naturally had to establish his authority.
IFF was originally invested in by the person in power. How could he tolerate such a shady matter?
The third elder stroked his beard and thought to himself, I wonder what the person in power looks like.
Until Job walked over.
The third elder's eyes lit up and he immediately called out to him, "Butler Job, did the master say when he will officially meet us?"
Everyone knew that Job was the spokesperson of the person in power.
The selection of the personal servants of the person in power was very strict. The elders all wanted to send their children to the core of the castle.
"It should be soon." Job smiled and lowered his voice. "By the way, third elder, if you want to do something for the master, please collect more information and photos of noble ladies."
"The master may have suffered a serious blow and wants to get married. I really can't persuade him."
The third elder: "???"
In the room.
David's scalp tightened and his whole body turned cold.
The door was finally pushed open and light shone in.
David raised his head, his eyes filled with hope.
Job smiled and looked at him with pity. "Do you know who Miss Ying is?"
